Commercial and industrial
Commercial epoxy floor coatings
Industrial epoxy floor systems cost €50 to €100 a m², and more for the thick, heavy-duty screeds. The right system depends on the traffic, the spills, the cleaning and how long you can close the floor.

The systems
Matching the system to the floor
| Type | System | Thickness | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Floor seal | About 150 microns | Dust-proofing, light traffic |
| 2 | Floor coating | 150 to 300 microns | Garages, stores, light commercial |
| 3 | High build coating | 300 microns to 1 mm | Workshops, busier floors |
| 5 | Flow applied (self-levelling) | 2 to 3 mm | Kitchens, shops, showrooms, decorative floors |
| 6 to 8 | Resin screeds and heavy duty floors | 4 mm and more | Factories, commercial kitchens, heavy wear |
The DIY check
DIY or hire a pro?
Three taps: the project, the size and how much epoxy you've used. You get an honest verdict, the reasons and what a specialist charges.
Hire a pro
One for a specialist
- The floor has to suit the use: slip resistance, chemicals, hot water, forklifts.
- It's done around your opening hours, with the right system thickness for the traffic.
- Staff and customers need the area closed while it cures.
Commercial and industrial floor systems: €50 to €100 a m², more for thicker systems.
Send this for a real priceHow this is worked out
Anything you walk on, cook on or shower against, at any real size, is a specialist job: the preparation, the cure and the waterproofing decide whether it lasts. Small pieces are what DIY kits are made for. Experience moves a borderline job, never a shower wall or a commercial floor. Prices are our price guide; your written price comes from the specialist.
Who uses it
Where it goes
Commercial kitchens, food production, shops, showrooms, warehouses, workshops, plant rooms, car parks and labs. Each one asks something different: hot water and fats in a kitchen, forklifts in a warehouse, chemicals in a plant room.
The brief
What to send the specialist
- The floor area and a plan, and whether you stay open while it's done.
- What's on the floor now, and its age.
- The traffic, the spills, the cleaning, and any wet areas or drains.
- The slip resistance and colours you need.
- Working hours, access, and how long the area can be closed.
Safety
Staff, and the cure
The area stays closed while the system cures. Epoxy is a skin hazard before it cures, and the specialist's own team follows the HSA's guidance on epoxy resins.
FAQ
Questions people ask
How much is a commercial epoxy floor?
Industrial systems run €50 to €100 a m². Thick resin screeds for heavy wear cost more.
Can it be done over a weekend?
Often, on a coating or a fast-curing system, depending on the size. Ask the specialist to plan the work around your hours.
Is an epoxy floor slip resistant?
It can be: grit in the topcoat raises the slip resistance. Ask for it on wet areas and entrances.
